I have a 1987 Honda 250 Four Trax 4 cycle.
It acts like its getting too much gas and flooding out. It leaves the plugs Black and fouls them out.
Where can I buy a replacement carb?
I need to take to Honda place and get it rebuilt.
They said it probaly needs needlw replaced....
What do you think?

Kirk is right, tear down your carb and replace everything you can, before you buy a new one. Very few carburetors actually "wear out", and can be rebuilt for a fraction of the cost of a new one.

I did take it apart and clean it.
Not much trash and it's still flooding out.
It needs rebuilding I guess.
I hope Honda dealer don't charge me an arm & a leg to do the work........
They told me 35.00 for a new needle value and
25.00 dollars for a tune up...

Take the main jet out see what you have and drop a couple #,you can do that as easy as dealer.recheck plug and go from there,if it's still black drop some more.
